Social media star IDubbbz will make his long-awaited YouTube boxing debut against Doctor Mike Varshavski at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida tonight.
The influencer duo will swap their video cameras for boxing gloves as they look to prove that they can hang with the top stars in this new YouTube boxing phenomenon. IDubbbz, whose real name is Ian Washburn, has been floating the idea of making his boxing debut since a 2016 feud with fellow content creator Jinx.
But he has been unable to find an appropriate opponent or venue until Doctor Mike answered the call. The New York-based doctor has been training in the sport for ten years, but has decided to step into the ring for his first bout this weekend.
Also on the card is Harley Morenstein of Epic Meal Time, who faces Arin Hanson, also known as Game Grumps' 'Egoraptor'. The pair will square off in a heavyweight co-main event with a monstrous 62lb weight difference.
We'll have live updates live from Florida throughout the night right here...
Dad calls his shot!
Harley Morenstein bts Arin Hanson by R2 TKO
Clearly the work in Rhode Island did Harley Morenstein a world of good, and he has picked up his first win in the boxing ring!
Massive victory for the Canadian!
Harley Morenstein vs Arin Hanson - Round 2
Morenstein was trained in part by the controversial comedian Sam Hyde, who has been boxing for years with friends and plans to debut this summer.
He was thought in that Rhode Island training camp to make the fight dirty and go to the ege of what the referee will allow.
However, both men appear to be boxing clean here, with Morenstein landing some decent shots.
And this could be it here, Morenstein unloading on Hanson and he has the knockout victory! ANOTHER STOPPAGE!

We're underway here as Morenstein goes off early.

Co-main event incoming
Harley Morenstein from Epic Meal Time faces Game Grumps' Arin Hanson.

Michael Reeves bts Graham Stephan by R2 TKO
That's an awful stoppage, but the crowd don't seem to mind too much!
They've gone absolutely balistic here in Tampa!
Graham Stephan vs Michael Reeves - Round 2
They're going after each other now, if Reeves can land one of these haymakers it could be a big problem!
neither of these men really know what they're doing in there, but Stephan is probably the cleaner boxer.
But that doesn't stop Michael Reeves from landing flush and stopping this fight! What a comeback!

Stephan launches the early offensive, but Reeves handles it well.
Neither man looking particularly aggressive until Stephan attacks late in the round.

Fantastic showing from both men, what a win for Hundar.
Head held high for AB, he earned a lot of respect today.
Hundar of Muscle Party vs AB from the H3 podcast - Round 5
AB is hanging on for dear life here, let's see if he can make it!
Alas, he can't and the referee calls a stop to the contest. Cracking fight.
Hundar of Muscle Party vs AB from the H3 podcast - Round 4
Hundar with the bigger shots now as we approach the point where fitness will play a huge part.
Neither of these men wanted to punch themselves out, but AB knew he had to put it all on the line after that knockdown in the third.
And he looks to be tiring big time now, as does Hundar!
Much less exciting round there, but this one is razor close. Likely going in Hundar's favour right now.
Hundar of Muscle Party vs AB from the H3 podcast - Round 3
Hundar with a flash knockdown right at the start of the round!
Could this be a turning point in this fight?
NO because AB drops Hundar with a thunderous counter right! We have lift off in Tampa!
Into the fourth we go, anyone's fight now.
Hundar of Muscle Party vs AB from the H3 podcast - Round 2
These two guys have clearly taken the sport very seriously, and as such are having a slightly less enthralling bout.
You would have hoped that Hundar would look a lot better given his athletic background.
Hard rounds to score.
Hundar of Muscle Party vs AB from the H3 podcast - Round 1
THese two look like they've trained properlu.
AB out of the famous Wild Card gym in Los Angeles and he's holding his own against a much more seasoned athlete thus far.
And he may have hurt Hundar a little bit with a left hand there!
This one could end up being tasty.
AB with the Eminem walkout
Have you really come to a low-level boxing show if someone doesn't walk out to Eminem's 'Lose Yourself'?
Hundar of Muscle Party faces AB from the H3 podcast next
These are twp of the better known fighters on the card, let's see if they can get the crowd going again after they almost tore the roof off for the last one.

JustaMinx bts Yodeling Haley by R4 TKO!
We have yet another stoppage tonight as Ireland's JustaMinx gets the win over Yodeling Haley!
JustaMinx vs Yodeling Haley - Round 4
So much heart being shown by these two women, they've put on a hell of a show for this Tampa crowd.
JustaMinx stops Yoedeling Haley in the fourth! The referee calls a halt after a series of unanswered shots!
That was far from a great boxing match, but these two women put on a major spectacle.
JustaMinx vs Yodeling Haley - Round 3
Minx using her size now, staying at range, we're not looking at two great boxers, though.
And Haley is bleeding from the nose now! Minx has her hurt!
This fight is beginning to sway in the Irishwoman's favour.
JustaMinx vs Yodeling Haley - Round 2
I don't know how a judge is supposed to score this, I suppose Haley is landing more cleanly.
Minx lands a huge right, both of these girls are struggling with the cardio.
The crowd chanting for Minx now, but she may be losing these rounds. Very tough to call.
JustaMinx vs Yodeling Haley - Round 1
History in the making here as both women go out swinging.
And down goes Haleu! It's a push, ut we've got a war incoming. No way this goes five rounds!
The size advantage is clearly in the Irishwoman's favour, but she's getting tagged a lot more.
Technique goes out the window as they slug it out.
Haley clearly the athlete here, but she's not got the power to hurt Minx with the multitude of shots she's landing.
JustaMinx vs Yodeling Haley now
For the first time on US or UK soil we have a female influencer boxing match.
And the crowd go absolutely nuts for both of these women. JustaMinx playing up her Irish heritage with Shipping Out to Boston by the Dropkick Murphys.
I did a thing bts Theodd1sout by R1 TKO
Dominant for as long as it lasted, the Aussie gets a first round stoppage.
The replays make that one look so, so bad. Thankfully the referee stopped that one at the right time.
I did a thing vs Theodd1sout - Round 1
It appears that 'I did a thing' is boxing in khaki shorts... Interesting strategy.
And it's Theodd1sout's birthday. Interesting dynamic.
An 'I did a thing' is the dominant fighter, he just had Theodd1sout compeletely staggered and opted not to close the show.
Now he's unloading and this fight is over after less than a minute and a half.
It seems that the Aussie asked the referee to step in and was going easy towards the end, that was a mismatch!
I did a thing vs Theodd1sout up next
Australian 'I did a thing', whose real name is Alex Apollonov just had a little drink backstage before making the walk.
The crowd are electric for all of these guys tonight.

DJ Welch bts Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik by R2 TKO
Mercifully, this fight is stopped in the corner and we're done with these two heavyweights.
Respect between the fighters, as Welch admits he was gassing and was almost done.
Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik vs DJ Welch - Round 2
Erik goes down again early in the second.
It's not a beatdown or anything but it's clear one guy has learned a bit in training and the other hasn't.
DJ Welch scores a third knockdown and this one should be over.
These are some liberal referees, letting fights that are for all intents and purposes over, continue.
Erik's corner should think about stopping this.
Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik vs DJ Welch - Round 1
Two big donny's take to the ring for this our first of two heavyweight clashes this evening.
Much slower pace than the other two fights to begin with.
The only bout with headgear tonight, indicating that neither man was too happy with their training, and you can tell the standard has dipped considerab.y.
Down goes Erik! Huge right hand followed straight up with a left from DJ Welch. We've got action in every fight.
